A1200 Hard drive upgrade - help required please

[wandeep]

Hi,

My 1st post so please don't be too mean

I've recently brought my Amiga 1200 back from the dead, well my parent's loft to be precise but you get the point lol I haven't used the A1200 for a about 13 years so am a bit rusty to say the least.

Anyway back in the day (1993!) I squeezed in a 3.5" hard disk into the A1200 case and it worked really well. However 15 years on the hard drive is just about working (takes a few reboots before it kicks in) which is expected I guess. I now want to replace the hard drive with a newer one but wanted to know what is the maximum hard drive capacity the A1200 can support?

I've herad somewhere it's 4GB, but I need someone to confirm this. If a larger hadr drive can be added, are there any instructions on how to get the A1200 to support the larger capacity?

Thanks in advance...I'm loving using my beloved A1200 again after all these years...

Thanks for your prompt replies :-)

I believe I only have Kickstart 3.0 and am not sure how easy/hard it is to upgrade to 3.1 and how much it would cost.

I'm also slowly getting back into the Amiga so will take a bit of time to familarise myself with all the old stuff I took for granted lol

I'm really enjoying using the Amiga again...it's bringing back so many great memories :-)

I'm also trying to build up my games collection so no doubt will be using these forums a lot lol
